Lockiaw on L,onu Island.

Who Gun explain what there is in the
air Or climate of the Long Island sea coast
conducive to the terrible disease of lock-
jaw? To step Oh q rusty nail from Fire
Island to Montauk is almost sure death.
Visitors cannot touch many Of the plants
Or shrubs without being poisoned, al
though they have no such effect on the
natives. Scratches from shrubs or any
sharp surface on the feet, Or in fact any
part of the body, are SURF to result in seri-
Gus inconvenience for a long time. Yet
the natives do not appear to be so sensi-
tive to these influences except in the case
of the rusty nail. That is almost invaria-
bly, fatal. The lockjaw smiths ought to
open an expert hospital to study the
disease somewhere on the island.-Naw

Silver Belts and Buckles.

Silver belts, also leather belts with silver
buckles, are more fashionable than ever,
being u convenient as well as attractive ac-
cessory to the present style of dress bodice.
Quite new, and especially desirable, are the
flexible ventilated belts, made of loosely
woven silver threads. An attractive belt
seen recently consisted of a series of oblong
medallions, one-half of which were quite
plain, the alternate ones being decorated with
an deliberately engraved design. Very pretty
belts are made of antique medallions fastened
together by little silver chains. The silver
girdles continue to find patrons and show the
usual patterns i'll silver rope, chains and

The Scotch Collie.

The employment of the sagacious Scotch
collie has largely increased in the United
States during the past few years. 1t is as
a sheep dog that the collie is best known
in this country, but he is equally valuable
as a careful watcher over herds of cattle.
With the growing demand for this sheep
and cattle dog it is well to make mention
of the fact that collies vary in disposition
and good qualities as well as in color;
heDorln making o selection it is wise to
.socure as perfect n specimen rs possible.
Ssit an early age q well bred collie displays
striking intelligence, and with proper
training soon becomes proficient in the art

A CONVENIENT IMPLEMENT.

To q round rod of iron, one inch in di-
ameter, weld on a sharp round point one
foot long and two and one-half inches in
diameter at the top of the point. Any
blacksmith can furnish one at small cost
when he gets the idea from the cut.
When finished the implement ought not
to be over five feet long and will weigh
about twenty pounds. BY striking this
down into the earth repeatedly with both
hands and working it from side to side a
little, so that it can be drawn out easily,
a hole will soon be made deep enough to
hold poles and stakes firmly without dig
ging or driving.

Asking for n Light.

Americans abroad who stop people in the
streets to ask for a light for their cigars are
more or less politely directed to the nearest
tobacco shop and advised to buy a box of
fuses. This apparent incivility has its merits.
AT the Cortlandt street ferry, last week, 1
saw a man with q stump OF a cigar importun-
ing strangers for a light. The first stranger
gave him q match, which blew out. The
second reluctantly handed him n freshly
lighted cigar, but the stump was ash-headed
and would not take the fire. The third
handed over his half smoked weed, shrugged
MS shoulders and walked off. The applicant
had now incommoded three persons and
spohed two good cigars. Yet. as he pulled
away contentedly at his stump, he doubtless

So spoke n barber in a well known shop on

prietor in response to an inquiry, "to ask my

Experiments at the Ohio State univer-
